I tried earlier today and I had no luck actually getting an instance running

It would help if the explanation was specific to a raspberry pi

      You could set up a dns based ad-blocker like pihole and a vpn like wireguard to tunnel your phone back into your home network so you have ad-blocking on the go, too. That’s a semi beginner protect with plenty of tutorials to pick from.

      You could run nextcloud, syncthing, or immich to make your own cloud at home but that might need more than a basic pi setup.

          It’s a great software to run. I like to watch youtube tutorials that explain things step by step so i can understand what happens. If i find a good video i’ll see what other software that channel may have a tutorial on and if that software may interest me.
